I wasn't sure what to expect, but the swim skills my daughter learned was beyond expectations. The toddlers learned skills like what to do if the fall in and to take a breath before going under water. Then there were more emerging skills like paddling and kicking. Overall, the main goal is to get them comfortable in the water. My daughter loves the school so much that we had her birthday party there as well. Once again, the staff and life guards did not disappoint! We're thinking of having her birthday there again!

Crooks. Missed a lesson, scheduled a makeup. Day before makeup my kid had a stomach virus. I called…read moreand emailed to inform them. I was told he was not eligible for the makeup anymore. What? Would they prefer diarrhea in the pool? $60 for a 20 minute lesson.

Learn from me, try water wings, the Y, CLU (to name a few)

I definitely underestimated this pool! For some reason I expected it to be super crowded and…read morecrammed, but it was actually the opposite, there was a good amount of people and it was a very large pool where you had enough space in the recreation area. The amount of lanes were you able to get your lane if you wanted to do laps. Had multiple lifeguards onduty on top of safety and the place was clean. I will say the bathrooms could've been better, but overall the rest is really good. They had pool toys for you to use and my son really loved the water basketball hoop. It was also pretty neat that you can bring your own food or order your food for delivery. Four dollars per person is a great price! They also have summer movie nights and Sunday evenings with the inflatable pool jumper which I thought was pretty cool. Definitely plan to come back .

Wonderful and clean facility!…read more When the swimming pool at my gym was out of commission, I needed to look for an alternative as swimming is part of my weekly workout routine. The pool has 6 lanes, with increasing depth along the pool. The outer left lanes are very shallow and are mostly used for kids' swimming classes. The outer right lanes are 5 feet deep and are wide enough for comfortable swimming laps. The swimming pool is kept very clean and heated all year round. There is a lifeguard on duty and a small outdoor changing area. As for parking, there are ample parking spaces within the CLU school campus. The lanes fill up fast, and the best way to book them is through the conejo valley recreation website. Booking a single lane for an hour costs $4, which is a very affordable option to use such a nice facility.

My almost 5 year old son has a slight fear of getting his face wet and had previously attended 3…read moresessions at crpd last summer. He did not learn or retain much from those sessions, between his fear of putting his face in the water, inability to keep warm (a neoprene shorty was still too cold in the summer) and short attention span. When I signed up for Connect the dots l picked lessons at midday to ensure it was warm enough for him. The main difference I noticed was that lessons were very focused. There were learning goals to be met each day, and most of the time it was exciting and fun but sometimes the kids reach an area outside of their comfort zone and the teachers at connect the dots don't back off. They firmly but gently keep working on it. That's why these 1-on-1 lessons cost more. My son had McKenna, the new lady teacher and he did well. Not a tear in the end but of course, if we don't keep practicing he will forget what he learned. Other things that will help your child to maximize learning at these lessons (not requirement but helps) -Sufficient upper body strength to push/lift themselves out of edge of pool -Able to understand/follow instruction in English -Able to handle being in and out of water in outdoor environment for 25 mins (my son needed neoprene suit and midday lessons) -Ability to coordinate limbs I watched a 6 year old learn to thread water, and swim the length of the pool (12 feet?) and he came in with some fear of water like my son.

Too chatty. My son was fully underwater and she wasn't paying attention at all. He panicked; he was…read more2. He LOVED going to swim until this moment. Today, now 4 years old, and he is still afraid of water. I guess she taught him that. I'm not sure what is in the metal thermos, but she was shaky, and completely almost drowned my kid. He came up blowing water out of his nose, shaking, red and screaming. He only came up because I said LOOK! He needs you!! It took 2 years for me to write this. Im still so furious. I heard she closed down and was so relieved. Guess she came back. Im writing this for other parents. Dont chat, keep all focus on your child. This isn't about amusing her during her job, but teaching our babies how to survive. I hate myself for talking to her at all. She is also very gossipy about the other parents. I truly couldn't believe it. 1. I dont care 2. We are all paying you. And I should have written this sooner.

I am moving my office to Westwood so it is no longer practical to come here in the mornings on my way to work as they do not open until 6am. If they opened at 5am I could stay but that extra hour just does not equate to a doable commute. I just updated my review to 4-stars as the Y has finally responded to some of our complaints. They have corrected the issues causing us grief and seem to have staff here now that are receptive to the members requests. This is a welcome change; so in response I have updated my rating. And thank you for finally removing the locks on the windows so 1) we can get out in an emergency; and 2) too bad we had to endure sweltering Summer with no ability to open them. Now that it is Winter, it's not much help, but nonetheless it is noticed that you all finally responded to the members request.
